To au whom zit may concert/1,:

Be it known that I, ALICE A. HANSON, ot Baltimore, Maryland, haveinvented certain Improvements in ChildrensACarriages, ofl

Figure l is an exterior side View of the irn-` proved carriage, and Fig.2 a cross section of Fig. l taken on the dotted line x-as.

Referring to the drawings, A is the body of the carriage which in thepresent case is of basket construction, supported from the bars B, bymeans of springs a as is usual. To the under side of the barsB aresecured the axles C carrying the Wheels D.

E is a plate fastened to the top ot' the bars B and extendingtransversely of the saine. Screws b are used to fasten the plate E tothe bars B; and anges c assist. in preventing the spread of the saidbars.

F F are separated lugs on the top of the plate E between which arepivoted, by means of bolts d, the lower ends of the handles G.

H H are plates extending from the outer lugs F, having notches e toreceive the pins f on the handles G, and prevent their falling below theposition shown. It will be seen that only the notches at one side areoccupied hy the pins f, and that the handles may be reversed in positionso that the carriage maybe either pulled 0r pushed in its propulsion, oreither end used as the forward one.

The handles are connected at the outer ends by the bar I as is usual.
